Hi Jane,

Might I suggest you contact Bill McCann of Dancing Dots? 
(admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)

Dancing Dots specialise in Braille Music, and I don't know anyone with more 
knowledge of the subject than Bill.  They also supply various publications 
relating to learning and teaching music.

Dancing Dots also produce "GOODFEEL" which is a program for producing braille 
music.

And of course GOODFEEL's files can be imported into Duxbury to enable you to 
produce literary braille with musical content.

George.

Anyone have experience with teaching Braille music to a student?  I am working 
on whole note recognition and am unsure how to Braille it.  If a whole note C 
is the letter just the letter "Y" in Braille (no capital or letter sign), when 
asking the question "what is a whole note C", would the C also be without 
capital and letter sign, or would I include them as I would in literary?  I 
don't want to ask "what is a whole note C (can)?  I hope you understand my 
question! Thanks for your help!

Hi Rick,

I must first apologise for taking so long to reply.  No excuses on my part - I 
just left it in my Follow Up folder for too long.

In my personal view, Flexipaper from Repro-Tronics in New Jersey is about the 
best on the market world-wide.

It's way more expensive here in the U.K compared to the local Zychem, but the 
image produced is far better.  Your PAIF should handle both.

However, you do need to appreciate that there is a difference between images 
produced by tactile image enhancers (and I include the PIAF here) and braille 
embossers.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further,

All the best,

Subject: [duxuser] Braile Graphics, PIAF Paper
WE will be using the PIAF to copy some graphics to be inserted into some 
braille documents. Are there differences in the quality of capsule paper used 
by the PIAF and the Tactile Image Enhancer?

Are there sites, besides APH, which have downloadable graphics?  Can these 
graphics be printed on braille paper or do you need  capsule paper?  Is the fre 
version of QuickTac from Duxbury adequate for editing these graphics or do you 
need something more powerful?
